• I think he's only planning to go a mile up so i'm not sure you could class it as 're-entry'.

    That's true, but slowing down big heavy things travelling quickly with parachutes is always a tricky job. One you may well not get right first time...

  • If you watch his previous flight, the parachute is in tatters. Possibly shards of ice damaging it?

    Something definitely punched quite a few holes in it. Difficult to see how ice would form from a steam-powered rocket though? Unless the pressure drop when the steam makes its way out of the back causes it to freeze.
